Roger S. Meek Sr.

Early Saturday morning, September 16, 2017, Roger S. Meek, 85, of Fort Smith saw his Savior face to face, while surrounded by his family that loved him dearly. Roger was managing partner at the Coca Cola Bottling Company of Fort Smith until his retirement. He was a faithful member of his church, First Baptist of Fort Smith, the Rotary Club and many other civic organizations. But his favorite accomplishment is the family he built with his wife of almost 64 years, Georgia, known as Sug to those who love her.

He leaves his legacy with his wife, his three children, Sarah Meek Howe, Georgianna Yerton and husband Stan, Roger Meek and his wife Tina; his grandchildren, Kelly Yerton McGruder and husband Drake, Caleb Yerton and wife Suzanne, Katie Howe, Jesse Howe, Stephen Meek and wife Gresham, Philip Meek and Sarah Jane Meek; and his great grandchildren Luke McGruder, Anna Kate McGruder and Witt Yerton. He is also survived by his sister Carolyn Meek Nelson and was preceded in death by his parents, Jim and DeWanda Meek, and his brother Jim D. Meek.

Memorial Service will be held Monday, September 18, 2017 at 2:00 PM in the First Baptist Church of Fort Smith. Private family burial will be in Forest Park Cemetery, under the direction of Edwards Funeral Home.

Pallbearers will be his grandchildren.

The family will greet friends at First Baptist Church following the Memorial Service.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to the church that he loved, First Baptist Church 14th and Grand Avenue Fort Smith, AR 72901
